Having a few issues with HDMI display on my TV, native 1360x768.
The (DOS BIOS) boot screen shows, the Puppy boot screen shows, but the booting commands give 'Mode Unsupported'. Not a problem until trying to change the res. with CRL-ALT-BKSPCE ! Not able to do the xorgwizard/etc. blind. Tried a coupe of cheat codes unsuccessfully - anything else to try? Ta.

I found that get proper video resolution you 'CAN NOT' have the TV plugged in when you start Puppy... 'any Puppy!'

I corrected the problem by loading Puppy 'First' then plugging in the TV, that cured it for me about 90%.

Now, that is using a desktop, if you use a laptop or notebook, there are a few .pet programs, (I believe in utilities, multimedia etc., section, not sure exactly where I saw them it's been awhile) that allow you to setup TWO different resolutions at the same time. Mind you, that's laptop, notebook ONLY.

Wow! That is an amazing revelation. If correct there's a very serious shortcoming in either the TV, the video card or PC SW, FW & HW. It also conflicts with my observations that when it works - it works, but I wouldn't be here if that was a constant!
Notwithstanding, it's usually possible to use the remote to switch into HDMI from TV/w.h.y. which essentially is the same as not having HDMI ON at boot up.
It will be most interesting to hear what the industry and SW gurus have to say about all this.

1. Using Luci-001.003.iso
With isolinux.cfg in the ISO file altered to include pmedia=ataflash...
And booted using "live" CD-RW, and lucisave.3fs+SFS filepair held [in a folder in the root folder] on ext3 partition on internal HDD.

PROBLEM
2. Videos at Youtube won't play.
(a) Used flash_install-0.1.pet to install the latest flashplayer [version doesn't show in PPM!]

3. I have ghostery installed, and ALL listed elements blocked.
Disabling ghostery, apparently has no beneficial effect.

4. Any idea how to fix?

If Flashplayer does not work you can try the pet of version 10.3.183.18 which is security patched and intended for older hardware which will not run the latest version 11.2.202.228. Details in this thread:

AS well as the the download link to my site in the thread, you can also get it from the Ibiblio repository or mirrors because Barry has uploaded it to .../quirky/pet_packages-common/ ._________________Classic Opera 12.16 browser SFS package for Precise, Slacko, Racy, Wary, Lucid, etc available here

1. It's not a problem with the hardware...Youtube videos play in all 6 of my other Puppies.
However...

2.
(a) I uninstalled "flashplayer" by clicking on it in the PPM.
It remained listed in the PPM.
Then clicked the "Save" icon [1st save of the session] to save that uninstall.
Then...
(b) Installed your "flash-player-10.3.183.18.pet"...
It was shown installed beside "flashplayer" in the PPM.
Then clicked the "Save" icon [2nd save of the session] to save that install.
(c) Tried to run a video at Youtube, but still no-go!

Have you checked your FlashPlayer settings to see that local storage is allowed? Some sites will not work if you do not allow local storage. Maybe YouTube is one of them. YouTube saves data locally and an entry appears for domain s.ytimg.com .

LATER: No, that is not the answer. YouTube works for me even if local storage is blocked._________________Classic Opera 12.16 browser SFS package for Precise, Slacko, Racy, Wary, Lucid, etc available here

2. Just now installed Google_Chrome-17-Lucid.pet [filename copied and pasted] and that plays Youtube videos just fine.
Your link says it's 18, but the file says it's 17.
Now when I click on the "Browse" icon on the desktop Chrome opens instead of Firefox.
Not sure whether I like that.
Never used Chrome before.
It seems faster than Firefox.

That's fixed now, but you would have to click the wrench in the upper right, then Settings, Under the Hood, Clear Browsing Data, to download the new one if you are using Google Chrome. Yes, most tests say Chrome is faster than Firefox.

Hi
I did install the French version from Petihar to make possible that my very old people in France can use Puppy with my help by telephone but I am not able to use it myself on my desk computer . it is the only one version of puppy under about 10 different versions I have on this hard disk making this problem:

the first «first start» happens without problem

I let search my equipment in commando line

it proposes my a low resolution and I commute to my real high resolution 1920 x 1080 pixel.

X starts and I can work a long time so.

at the next start (with or without save file) black window and message «digital power saving mode» on the screen. nothing to do to better it or commute to an other char mode console to end without hard ware reset. only hard ware reset possible.

my PC:

High-resolution monitor 1980 x 1080 pixel connected with the high resolution plug in

Hi
It is now certain: the warm restart is not possible or very difficult! I have to turn off the PC completely and it is dangerous for the file if I forget: very long bad nodes message by start. It is not operable so...

PS: pls if a solution is known, inform the forum user «petihar» what his has to do concerning his French puplet!

Lucid Puppy 528 -005 released
1. Built from an old version of Woof, so is missing many of the fixes and improvements that I have announced on my blog over the last couple of years -- though Lucid has been going on an independent parallel path with it's own development, so there will be many Woof-level improvements since the original fork from the official Woof (plus some ported from the official Woof). So, this is not necessarily a reason against.

Did you use the same version of Woof to build Three-Headed Dog? If so where can I download your version of Woof?
